here in america SSDI and SSI are two programs run by the same company.... social security. the question was whether someone can recieve SSDI with borderline personality disorder.....

I answered that question with yes and why and how.

I know many people one of which is my own brother who is disabled gets SSI because he is too disabled to hold down a full or part time job, he has schizophrenia, borderline and his physical disability is stroke from begging hurt on the job. (construction)

I was also on SSI some years back when I witnessed a crime on the job and was unable to work for a period of time due to PTSD.

SSI is also for disabilities. if you read the posts in this forum ... https://forums.psychcentral.com/insurance-and-finances/

you will find that there are in fact many psych central members who have a variety of disabilities on SSI and those also with disabilities on SSDI.

some have physical health related disabilities and others have mental disabilities (disorders) and others have both.

my point both programs (SSI and SSDI) is run by social security and both are for those who are disabled and cant work. one has a few added rules like work history and the other doesnt depend on work history.

here is a couple links that explains them
